✨ End of year musings ✨ First of all, thanks ✨ End of year musings ✨

First of all, thanks to everyone who’s not my mom or an old acquaintance from my past lol for sticking around yet another slow content year❣️No hard feelings if you do an yearly clean up and I don’t make the cut for next year though 😅

As much as I would like to come back and deliver informative content like everyone else… I’ve had to accept that I shine brighter in other settings. IG may be a wonderful medium for others but for me it’s been nothing than hitting my head against the wall and complaining why my head hurts. 🤕 And since consciously taking a backseat in 2020, I’ve proven myself that I don’t suck as much as I had myself believe. In my case, if life throws you lemons don’t try to make lemonade, ask why and from where they’re being thrown. 😅 

✨2021 BEST… ✨

TV-show… White Lotus and Ted Lasso
- The fact that I just started binging Ted Lasso two days ago and it’s quickly become the best thing I’ve watched says a lot! 😂

Investment… @melissawoodhealth app
- Without a doubt❣️Stopped going to the gym, lifting and doing regular HIIT workouts, swapped it for walks and bite sized pilates. Finally lost the weight I gained and feeling comfortable in my skin. 🧘🏻‍♀️

Achievement… Luxury bargains and facing fears
- Price is relative, patience is gold, and facing fears makes you more bold. 😏

Life lesson… “You are not who you think you are”
- As we get older we often start identifying ourselves with certain behavior, smarts, and likes. We tell ourselves lies of who we are and what we’re capable of. Usually influenced by others around us, past beliefs and societal opinions. Lies limiting our truest potential and deepest desires. By ridding myself of old limiting beliefs I’ve surprised and even shocked myself with how multi-talented and diverse my identity can be. 💫 

On that note, I’ll end by wishing you all a happy new year! Hope you’ll tag along for the next ✨♥️
Don’t you just love it when an expensive product Don’t you just love it when an expensive product doesn’t work for you? Or maybe you hate it as it was a waste of money 😅😝

It’s really worth repeating that a higher price tag doesn’t always = amazing results. What I’ve learned is that there are many different factors at play when it comes to pricing. Some brands want to offer new and exclusive formulations with studies behind them. Which isn’t cheap. Others are just starting off small batch, wanting to make it full time. And some just want the rich as their target consumer (looking at you Dr Sturm 🧐). And that’s all fine. 💁🏻‍♀️

I forgot the point I wanted to make. 😅 

But if you’re interested in hearing my thoughts on some expensive Allies of Skin-products, hop on over to my blog! ☺️ (Link in bio) 

Hint: The most expensive product was my least favorite. 👀

🌼 Quarter Three Musings 🌼 Been busy… figu 🌼 Quarter Three Musings 🌼

Been busy… figuring out if math is related to science…
– And I’ll say no more until I know for sure. 🤔 But one thing’s for sure, there are such things as stupid questions. 💁🏻‍♀️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Keeping me grounded… Movement and active rest🧘🏻‍♀️
– with the help of the @balance app I’ve been trying to make at least 5 min of deep pause a daily habit to increase focus, motivation and understanding. And I’ve been surprisingly calmer compared to my other counterparts. 😅
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Best summer memory… Rooftop Pool 😎
– Not to mention that awkward encounter with people from high school 🙈😂
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
New in beauty 🧖🏻‍♀️:
– Bioderma Cicabio Cream
– Ouai Air Dry Foam
– Skincity Skincare Kit
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Contemplating a lot on… What exactly defines one’s identity?
– And do we really have one or do we just tell ourselves that? 👀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Best purchase… Zara Seamless wear
– One of those, “insta made me do it”. 😄 I haven’t bought anything from Zara in years, but this they did good ⭐️ The most comfy, stretchy and soft leisure wear I’ve ever had👌🏼
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Feeling good about… Myself 🥰
– The positive side effect of being off social media. 😏
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
On my wishlist… the Dyson Supersonic 💇🏻‍♀️
– Kind of embarrassing to want one. 🙄 The price is ridiculous. And I’ll probably won’t be happy with it because of the high pitch sound only I seem to recognize 🙉 😂
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Favorite streams 📺… “White Lotus” and “Mare of Easttown”
– Loved the mix of Faulty Towers meets murder mystery in White Lotus. And who can hate on anything starring Kate Winslet? 😍
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m looking forward to…  Countdown to Christmas🎄
– Can’t wait to open advent calendars! And just like last year, I got myself one filled with beauty products 😁✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
How has the past few months been for you? What new product are you loving?
✨🌸 CUSTOM HAIR CARE 🌸✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I've been using @functionofbeauty since February when I got them for my birthday. This is a brand I've been eyeing since they launched. 😍 The idea of customized hair care appealed to me as I always felt I had to let go of certain aspects. If I want volume, I can't have moisture, and if I wanted curl action, I will not get volume, etc. With customized hair care, I can make a formula that checks all my boxes... Well, so I thought. 😅
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I've realized that there are a few issues surrounding customed stuff... 🙄 In the case of FoB, the customer is responsible to know their hair and what it needs. However, I would say, that the majority of us don't have a clue! 🙈 Like, in my case, I chose goals after my wants, not necessarily what my hair needs. 😶 You would think those two go hand in hand, but they don't!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
While it didn't end up in disaster, my expectations weren't met. But I can't blame the product or the brand, because I chose the formula. 🤷🏻‍♀️ This brings me to my next issue...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There are literally more than ten thousand combinations to try. Which is one too many if the first concoction doesn't work for you. I mean, I'd rather try out a different line, than try to puzzle the right pieces together. 🙇🏻‍♀️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There are other brands, like @prose (only US atm), where the customization is more like a consultation. So rather than you picking what you think would work, you do a quiz answering stuff about your hair and health. What's also interesting is that they take into account your environment and its humidity level. Which I think is genius! Nevertheless, even that won't totally guarantee the formula will work for you. 💁🏻‍♀️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
While I can only speak for _this particular formula_ and how it worked with _my hair_, if you are interested to read my experience hop on over to my blog! 👉🏼 link in bio.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have you tried custom hair care?
🌸 Quarter Two Musings 🌸
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I just started... knitting a summer top with dropped stitches I started a year ago
- I've frogged it twice in a year lol. Hopefully, third's a charm! 🤞🏼 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I've been reading... The Beauty Detox Power by @_kimberlysnyder
- A book I’ve been meaning to read for years now. But everything has its divine timing. ✨ The message could’ve not been received more deeply than now.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m obsessing about… Cults
– As someone who loves psychology I've been utterly fascinated by cults lately. Loved watching all the NXIVM documentaries and started to see concerning patterns...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve recently been bothered by... Microcult behavior in the beauty community (and social media overall)
- It’s like deja vu, and I feel like I’m the only one who sees it. Everyone thinks they are doing good and no one's pointing out the harm.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I've enjoyed… morning walks
-  In a quest to avoid sun rash and control weight gain I moved my lunch walks to mornings and made them longer too. Can happily inform you that I've not suffered sun rash this year 👍🏼 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Most played songs… 
🎵 This must be the place - Talking Heads
🎵 This Wild Darkness (Loaded remix) - Moby
🎵 On Ice - Michael Nau
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My latest purchase… a small Pilates ball
– Slowly building my own home gym. This and a pair of ankle weights has really amplified results. 💪🏼
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I've got my eye on… Milk Makeup Sunshine Skin Tint
– It's finally available in Sweden and now with more shades. Hopefully, will be able to do a swatch once I'm in Stockholm and see if it lives up to its hype.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'm looking forwards to... celebrating 11 years with my boyfriend 🥳
– On this date, 11 yrs ago, I met my soul mate at a christening of all things. 😂 I knew back then that it's forever or never. ❤
Two tinted sunscreens that don't get the attention Two tinted sunscreens that don't get the attention they deserve are the Avéne B Protect and Bioderma Anti-Redness. Both of which are tinted and deliver a high SPF of 50+. 💁🏻‍♀️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you care to read a more detailed comparison, head to my blog! 👉🏼 Link in bio!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For the short version 👇🏼
I would repurchase both! But do lean more towards Bioderma AR being the favorite 🌟 It's fragrance-free and water-resistant, unlike B Protect. Has a sheer yellowish tint that blends in better into my light to medium complexion. It's also more hydrating and has soothing ingredients which are great for my normal/dry acne-prone skin. The B Protect has things going for it too, like more coverage and less dewy finish. But in general, for my skin, the Bioderma AR felt like a better fit.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I picked up both and tested them out during winter/spring. So I can't, unfortunately, say how well they wear up during summer. But considering their small size (only 30ml 🙄), I would recommend opting for something that gives you more bang for your bucks as you will probably go through a tube pretty quickly in the summer.

Have you tried these two? Tell me your thoughts below!

In addition to a practical basics kit to get started with kegel exercises (see earlier post), @sinful.eu also offers organic intimate products. Their Kaerlig-line is produced in Denmark with a high proportion of organic and natural ingredients. Most products are also Nordic Swan Eco-labeled and allergy-tested. 👌🏻
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I've tested out their organic lubricant and O gel, both of which are latex and toy-safe. I was very skeptical about the O gel and have never tried any O enhancing product before.

Jag har fått testa deras ekologiska glidmedel och x gel, båda som är säkra att använda tillsamamns med latex och leksakerna.

MAC Waterweight Foundation NC30

MAC Waterweight Foundation NC30 Review

I stopped wearing foundation on a daily basis since the beginning of 2013 when my skin just came to such a level of bad that there was no point in covering it up. While covering up acne for photo shoots may work, I personally think the covering up looks very obvious IRL. It can look tacky and does no good for your skin. As soon as I stopped smothering my face with foundation, even the mineral-based ones, my skin started to get better. Still had acne as it wasn’t product-related, but it definitely calmed down by 10%, which is much when having severe breakouts!

Since then, I’ve stuck to mineral/powder foundations, buying samples here and there and here. But I never really felt 100% comfortable with it on. So it’s been years since I used a liquid foundation or a foundation at all. I decided to put my bad experience behind, as I like to think that within these three years the foundations must have improved!


What do I look for in a foundation?

I’m probably the odd one when it comes to picking a foundation in contrast to other people suffering from acne and acne scars; I want my foundation as sheer and natural looking as possible. That means no full coverage, no complete matte finish, and definitely nothing thick. Because I have quite normal skin, I don’t mind some luminosity or a dewy finish, as long as the foundation doesn’t feel too heavy.

In a way, what I want won’t cover any blemishes. But I think most of us should confess that that’s not a foundation’s job to do – That’s where a concealer comes into play. I simply want a foundation to bring “health” to my face; cancel out any redness and make my skin color look a bit more even but not made up.


MAC Waterweight Foundation NC30 Review

MAC Waterweight SPF 30 Foundation / Smashbox BB Water Foundation

★★★★★

Before I jump into the review, let me clear out why I’m using MAC which technically isn’t cruelty-free… And why does it also say Smashbox Camera Ready BB Water SPF 30 (read update) in the title? Well, it’s a lil’ complicated…

Same formula, different brands

Both companies are owned by Estée Lauder, and so it’s not unusual for brands within the same parent company to have the same formulated products! In this case, we have two similar if not the exact foundations, but two different brands: Smashbox, which is a cruelty-free brand; while MAC has decided to sell in China but work with the Institute for In Vitro Sciences to spread and educate about cruelty-free ways to test products. Because they have the same exact formula, you could say in many ways that this product has been animal tested by default. And therefore we wonder how and why Smashbox is still selling it?
UPDATE: Estee Lauder Double Wear Nude Foundation is also an exact dupe!
UPDATE 2020: Smashbox has sadly discontinued the BB Water Foundation!

I personally don’t want to be militant about this or make stuff look like a chore. Because the whole “boycotting brands and companies” to me is ridiculous. As that would technically mean I can’t buy groceries or go out to eat. Because hey, they serve and support the meat industry, and I can’t give my money to that! Not to mention how organic foods are actually fertilized with waste from the meat industry = I shouldn’t eat organic either? Then this hypocritical layer of people caring that it’s cruelty-free but still eat meat? Nothing is as black and white as some likes to think of it. Most of this is just too confusing and unnecessary behavior! Whatever good you do, keep doing it. Try to evolve, but don’t feel the need to become all purist and shit. The world is enough complicated as it is.

Now, my first choice was actually to try out the new 100% Pure’s new 2nd Skin Foundation. But as my luck would have it, my potential shade has been out of stock for months! This lead me to search further, and I came across the Smashbox Camera Ready BB Water Foundation which sounded much similar. What was great with this one was that I could go get samples of it. So I took home the shades Light/Medium and Medium shade and fell in love. However, I happened to have a bunch of discounts on a particular beauty store that does not sell Smashbox but sell MAC instead. And when I found out that the MAC Waterweight foundation was practically a dupe, I figured I could buy the MAC foundation just this one time and save me some bucks. Would they’ve had Smashbox, I would’ve purchased that one instead, as I already knew my color match. But considering they are very much the same formula – and I’m sorry to be frugal to the point I cross morals – I went and ordered the foundation from MAC instead.

Because these two products are so similar and I’ve tested them both out, I will review them both interchangeably in this review.

MAC Waterweight Foundation NC30 Review

A 2-in-1 Product

MAC Waterweight foundation is described as:

  • Oil-free formulation with built-in primer water technology that creates a liquid silk-consistency to glide easily onto your face and moves with the skin.
  • Demi-matte, never flat finish with buildable coverage and Photoset Polymers create all-day wear.
  • Moisture-Fusion Complex provides immediate and all-day hydration leaving skin feeling quenched and silky to the touch.
  • Includes antioxidants and reparative ingredients as vitamin E, lecithin, apple, lentil and watermelon extract, and sodium hyaluronate.
  • Formulated without Parabens, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Phthalates, Oil, Fragrance & Talc.
  • Features SPF 30 sun protection (in the form of Octinoxate 5%, Titanium Dioxide 3.1%, Zinc Oxide 2.1%)

I was very into buying a Tinted Moisturizer at first. But then I came across Glossier’s Skin Tint, which basically can be used alone or blended with your regular moisturizer. However, they only ship within the states. But the whole idea of custom blending foundation with your moisturizer sparked my interest and I started to look into foundations that could be used for this purpose.
CoverFX Custom Drops foundation was then a candidate. But not being able to get samples, I was worried about the shade not matching. And it’s a bit pricey to be spending on the wrong shade.

I love the whole “makeup meets skincare”-concept, where your makeup also is beneficial for your skin. Like the formula we found in W3LL People’s concealer, which doubles as an eye cream too! And so it leads me to look up “Serum Foundations” like this one from Smashbox.

But before I found the Smashbox BB Water Foundation, I tried my luck with samples of the BareMinerals bareSkin Pure Brightening Serum Foundation (omg, all these ultra-long names!). However, I found the colors to be a bit too pigmented which made it hard for me to find a good color match. I also didn’t like that it was too easy to go full coverage. I don’t want to speak for all foundations out there, but when having scars, full coverage makes the indents much more obvious. Not to mention, full coverage doesn’t look natural and makes you look “too made up” in daytime for my taste. The ingredients on it looked good, it had a built-in SPF, but something about it wasn’t agreeing with my skin. After a day’s wear it starts to feel heavy and like I feel it on, and as a result, a few whiteheads popped up. So I definitely recommend asking for samples before purchasing any foundation! Not only will you get the shade more right, but you get to see how well it reacts with your skin!

Look & Feel

This Serum foundation needs to be shaken well before use. It gives you a very sheer coverage that can be layered to medium – but barely. This blends out beautifully and doesn’t leave your scars more prominent looking, it looks incredibly natural on your skin. I like to think of it as your skin, but even better. It’s neither matte or too moisturizing, but I definitely found that it adjusts to what base you have under. So if your moisturizer or primer is matte, it will go more to matte. If your cream is more dewy-looking, it will turn into a very luminous look.

With that said… Though this foundation feels hydrating, it may cling to dry patches. And I suggest dry skin types blend it with a hydrating primer or moisturizer of some sort, as well as exfoliating regularly with BHA or AHA. Otherwise, I do think it’s a good foundation for plain dry skin that does not have the flakiness.
And for very oily skin types, you may have good luck with applying a matte primer. But because of this foundation’s hydrating properties, blotting might be needed at the end of the day depending on your preference. I personally love the look and feel of it alone! and don’t feel the need to put finishing powder over as that would ruin the natural 2:nd skin look that I’m going for.

But yeah, overall this foundation has a sort of “primer”-feature to it and sinks in just like a serum and lightly blurs any imperfections. I barely feel like I have it on, it’s like another layer of skincare to me. Just the way I want my foundation to be!

Because it’s so sheer, you do need to use more than 1-3 drops to go to a medium coverage. But I guess finishing it off with a powder, you may save on some of the product. But it goes on very nicely on the skin and blends well with just your fingers. I don’t feel like a makeup brush or sponge is even necessary to use to apply this foundation.

Since it has low coverage, it’s okay to be one shade off as long as the undertone matches. But the sad part is that, because of its sheer formula, it’s not as easily mixed with your moisturizer as I thought. 3 drops of this, and it barely looks as if you have any foundation on. And so for that reason, I’m still looking into the CoverFX Custom Cover Drops – which is so highly pigmented, that only 2 drops are needed for a medium coverage!

So in contrast to the bareSkin foundation serum, this doesn’t make me look like I have foundation on. My boyfriend will always notice and ask if I got makeup on before hugging him to prevent any transfer to his shirt. Now on days, I wear foundation he’s like, “Your skin looks really good!” Not even suspecting that it could be the foundation. And that’s what any lady wants to hear!

Compared to the bareSkin foundation serum that made me breakout a little, the MAC/Smashbox foundation has not affected my skin as negatively. I still can get a few pores clogged with longer wear than 8 hours. As my skin will usually become oily at the end of the day with foundation on. But I guess that’s just the nature of foundation, I can’t wear them all day long. At least this one doesn’t feel heavy or irritating on me. But overall I find this foundation quite the opposite, as I some days feel like my skin is really benefiting from the formula!

MAC Waterweight Foundation NC30 Review

Shade

I’ve been wearing SPF 50 all through the summer, and I’m surprised that my face didn’t stay pale white! The shade ‘Light/Medium’ from Smashbox BB Water Foundation is described as “Golden Medium Beige”. And it was a perfect match to my face tone. However, ‘Medium’, described as “Natural Tan”, was a perfect match to my overall tanned body color/decolletage. And so for reference, ‘Medium’ would totally work as my summer shade and ‘Light/Medium’ for winter time. People who do a lot of contouring and use bronzers might go for a shade lighter. But the general rule of thumb is to actually match your foundation to a shade somewhere in-between your decolletage and your face color. Not too light, not too dark.

Smashbox BB Water foundation only offer 8 shades (but may extend this in the future) while MAC Waterweight foundation offers 23 shades.
Because my skin tone is within the general population/selection, choosing a shade from MAC felt very overwhelming. Of course, depending on the formula and pigment of a product, I for one like it when shades are as simple as ‘Light’ or ‘Medium’. But I do feel that someone with more pinks in their undertone would appreciate the shade selection from MAC more. But this foundation is so sheer and blendable that I find it hard to see how the 8 shades Smashbox offers isn’t enough? But I can be wrong, and so sampling before a purchase is always recommended.

There’s no MAC counter nearby where I live. So I took help from Temptalia to find me a close match to Smashbox’s BB Water in ‘Medium’. It came out to be NC30. But as you see in the picture comparison, NC30 is even slightly lighter than ‘Light/Medium’! I got a bit shocked by this when I got the foundation. Also relieved that I didn’t go with NC25, which was in my mind as it’s starting to turn into winter. But like I said before, thanks to its sheer formula, one shade lighter or darker, doesn’t really matter. It blends right in and adjusts a bit. And NC30 works and will work wonderfully with my winter skin.

Packaging

Both foundations come in a glass bottle with a dropper. Smashbox BB Water foundation does have a slightly different dropper, one of which you click at the top to suck product into the pipette.
I personally find the MAC bottle more attractive and picture perfect, while Smashbox’s looks a bit on the cheap side with the glued-on-label. But it’s all aesthetic looking. I haven’t had any trouble with the dropper, and it dispenses the perfect amount to use at each cheek.

Price

Although they are basically the same formula, for some reason the MAC Waterweight foundation is slightly cheaper than the Smashbox BB water foundation? At the same time, MAC offers way more shades to choose from and a much more insta-worty bottle. I don’t know where this cost may come from. Could it be that Smashbox is supposed to seem more like a “high end” brand? Is it because MAC has a bigger fan base/stores (more consumers = cheaper pricing)? Or does that bunny logo cost extra? But definitely, something to keep in mind and complain about.

Ingredient Highlight

The MAC Waterweight and Smashbox BB Water foundation contain Thermus Thermophillus Ferment Extract, which is a powerful antioxidant, that’s activated by heat and light. Its benefits can be comparable to vitamin E, and is a nice addition to a makeup product.  This ferment is derived from deep-sea hydrothermal vents and has a unique ability to help protect skins DNA. It provides a self-adjusting enzyme activity, fibroblast protection, and cell membrane protection while helping to combat free radical damage.

Six months of use showed to prevented five years of aging. As the Ferment Extract worked to protect against age spots, wrinkles, and blemishes. It showed to also work to:

  • Stimulate keratinocyte differentiation and maturation
  • Strengthen stratum corneum resistance against aggression – protecting against UV damage
  • Restore the cutaneous barrier quality
  • Reduce water loss after an induced lesion
  • Increase ceramide production
  • Inspire healthy oxygenation

I reacted with a laugh when I read someone’s comment on a forum about this sea bug extract:
“I don’t understand the meaning of ‘prevent 5 years of aging in 6 months’. So, you use the product for 6 months, and then for 6 months and 4 years you don’t age??” And I must agree, it’s quite confusing, but sounds very appealing! :)

MAC Waterweight Foundation Review

Conclusion

In all honesty, this is THE BEST foundation I’ve tried and owned so far during my lifetime!

All my suspicions that foundations have gotten better with time has been proven right. My experiences with foundation (including mineral-based ones) in the past have always been one where I “feel them” at the end of the day. And like a pair of jeans, I only wear them when I must to look good, but can’t wait to take them off as soon as I get home. But this is the first time I don’t feel that way with a foundation. It might be heavily dependent on skin type, but after 8 hours I don’t feel that “dirty” like I usually do. At. All.
Even when I build it up to medium coverage, my skin feels like skin: hydrated and normal. Because it’s sheer, it’s hard to tell if it stays put, but I feel confident about my skin throughout the day is all I can tell!

The only con about this foundation is its complicated moralistic issue on whether it is cruelty-free or not. And unless I find another foundation that feels similar, and hopefully cheaper, I’m sticking to this one. It’s very hard for me to find a liquid foundation that I like, and I don’t even write about half the samples I bring home here on the blog. Nonetheless, I’m still very much interested in trying out the 100% Pure 2nd Skin Foundation with Squalane. It has a few ingredients that I don’t think should be in a face product, but I’m intrigued by the reviews!

Note that this is a sheer foundation! It will look as if you have nothing on. If you’re looking for something with medium to full coverage, you need to look elsewhere – Like the bareSkin Foundation Serum. It’s also not a “natural” foundation and does contain silicons – if that’s something you avoid. But overall it does not contain fragrance and got a sophisticated and light formula that shouldn’t be pore clogging or irritating to sensitive skin. But hey, anything can break you out as long as you don’t wash your face!

✨ End of year musings ✨ First of all, thanks ✨ End of year musings ✨

First of all, thanks to everyone who’s not my mom or an old acquaintance from my past lol for sticking around yet another slow content year❣️No hard feelings if you do an yearly clean up and I don’t make the cut for next year though 😅

As much as I would like to come back and deliver informative content like everyone else… I’ve had to accept that I shine brighter in other settings. IG may be a wonderful medium for others but for me it’s been nothing than hitting my head against the wall and complaining why my head hurts. 🤕 And since consciously taking a backseat in 2020, I’ve proven myself that I don’t suck as much as I had myself believe. In my case, if life throws you lemons don’t try to make lemonade, ask why and from where they’re being thrown. 😅 

✨2021 BEST… ✨

TV-show… White Lotus and Ted Lasso
- The fact that I just started binging Ted Lasso two days ago and it’s quickly become the best thing I’ve watched says a lot! 😂

Investment… @melissawoodhealth app
- Without a doubt❣️Stopped going to the gym, lifting and doing regular HIIT workouts, swapped it for walks and bite sized pilates. Finally lost the weight I gained and feeling comfortable in my skin. 🧘🏻‍♀️

Achievement… Luxury bargains and facing fears
- Price is relative, patience is gold, and facing fears makes you more bold. 😏

Life lesson… “You are not who you think you are”
- As we get older we often start identifying ourselves with certain behavior, smarts, and likes. We tell ourselves lies of who we are and what we’re capable of. Usually influenced by others around us, past beliefs and societal opinions. Lies limiting our truest potential and deepest desires. By ridding myself of old limiting beliefs I’ve surprised and even shocked myself with how multi-talented and diverse my identity can be. 💫 

On that note, I’ll end by wishing you all a happy new year! Hope you’ll tag along for the next ✨♥️
Don’t you just love it when an expensive product Don’t you just love it when an expensive product doesn’t work for you? Or maybe you hate it as it was a waste of money 😅😝

It’s really worth repeating that a higher price tag doesn’t always = amazing results. What I’ve learned is that there are many different factors at play when it comes to pricing. Some brands want to offer new and exclusive formulations with studies behind them. Which isn’t cheap. Others are just starting off small batch, wanting to make it full time. And some just want the rich as their target consumer (looking at you Dr Sturm 🧐). And that’s all fine. 💁🏻‍♀️

I forgot the point I wanted to make. 😅 

But if you’re interested in hearing my thoughts on some expensive Allies of Skin-products, hop on over to my blog! ☺️ (Link in bio) 

Hint: The most expensive product was my least favorite. 👀

It’s soon the season to open advent calendars! 🎄🤩

While being busy with life I forgot to highlight my review on some of the luxury items found in last year’s CultBeauty advent calendar. 🙈

• Glow Recipe Banana Souffle
• 111Skin Rose Gold Radiance Booster
• Votary Super Seed Oil

🌼 Quarter Three Musings 🌼 Been busy… figu 🌼 Quarter Three Musings 🌼

Been busy… figuring out if math is related to science…
– And I’ll say no more until I know for sure. 🤔 But one thing’s for sure, there are such things as stupid questions. 💁🏻‍♀️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Keeping me grounded… Movement and active rest🧘🏻‍♀️
– with the help of the @balance app I’ve been trying to make at least 5 min of deep pause a daily habit to increase focus, motivation and understanding. And I’ve been surprisingly calmer compared to my other counterparts. 😅
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Best summer memory… Rooftop Pool 😎
– Not to mention that awkward encounter with people from high school 🙈😂
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
New in beauty 🧖🏻‍♀️:
– Bioderma Cicabio Cream
– Ouai Air Dry Foam
– Skincity Skincare Kit
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Contemplating a lot on… What exactly defines one’s identity?
– And do we really have one or do we just tell ourselves that? 👀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Best purchase… Zara Seamless wear
– One of those, “insta made me do it”. 😄 I haven’t bought anything from Zara in years, but this they did good ⭐️ The most comfy, stretchy and soft leisure wear I’ve ever had👌🏼
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Feeling good about… Myself 🥰
– The positive side effect of being off social media. 😏
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
On my wishlist… the Dyson Supersonic 💇🏻‍♀️
– Kind of embarrassing to want one. 🙄 The price is ridiculous. And I’ll probably won’t be happy with it because of the high pitch sound only I seem to recognize 🙉 😂
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Favorite streams 📺… “White Lotus” and “Mare of Easttown”
– Loved the mix of Faulty Towers meets murder mystery in White Lotus. And who can hate on anything starring Kate Winslet? 😍
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m looking forward to…  Countdown to Christmas🎄
– Can’t wait to open advent calendars! And just like last year, I got myself one filled with beauty products 😁✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
How has the past few months been for you? What new product are you loving?
✨🌸 CUSTOM HAIR CARE 🌸✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I've been using @functionofbeauty since February when I got them for my birthday. This is a brand I've been eyeing since they launched. 😍 The idea of customized hair care appealed to me as I always felt I had to let go of certain aspects. If I want volume, I can't have moisture, and if I wanted curl action, I will not get volume, etc. With customized hair care, I can make a formula that checks all my boxes... Well, so I thought. 😅
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I've realized that there are a few issues surrounding customed stuff... 🙄 In the case of FoB, the customer is responsible to know their hair and what it needs. However, I would say, that the majority of us don't have a clue! 🙈 Like, in my case, I chose goals after my wants, not necessarily what my hair needs. 😶 You would think those two go hand in hand, but they don't!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
While it didn't end up in disaster, my expectations weren't met. But I can't blame the product or the brand, because I chose the formula. 🤷🏻‍♀️ This brings me to my next issue...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There are literally more than ten thousand combinations to try. Which is one too many if the first concoction doesn't work for you. I mean, I'd rather try out a different line, than try to puzzle the right pieces together. 🙇🏻‍♀️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There are other brands, like @prose (only US atm), where the customization is more like a consultation. So rather than you picking what you think would work, you do a quiz answering stuff about your hair and health. What's also interesting is that they take into account your environment and its humidity level. Which I think is genius! Nevertheless, even that won't totally guarantee the formula will work for you. 💁🏻‍♀️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
While I can only speak for _this particular formula_ and how it worked with _my hair_, if you are interested to read my experience hop on over to my blog! 👉🏼 link in bio.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have you tried custom hair care?
🌸 Quarter Two Musings 🌸
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I just started... knitting a summer top with dropped stitches I started a year ago
- I've frogged it twice in a year lol. Hopefully, third's a charm! 🤞🏼 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I've been reading... The Beauty Detox Power by @_kimberlysnyder
- A book I’ve been meaning to read for years now. But everything has its divine timing. ✨ The message could’ve not been received more deeply than now.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m obsessing about… Cults
– As someone who loves psychology I've been utterly fascinated by cults lately. Loved watching all the NXIVM documentaries and started to see concerning patterns...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve recently been bothered by... Microcult behavior in the beauty community (and social media overall)
- It’s like deja vu, and I feel like I’m the only one who sees it. Everyone thinks they are doing good and no one's pointing out the harm.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I've enjoyed… morning walks
-  In a quest to avoid sun rash and control weight gain I moved my lunch walks to mornings and made them longer too. Can happily inform you that I've not suffered sun rash this year 👍🏼 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Most played songs… 
🎵 This must be the place - Talking Heads
🎵 This Wild Darkness (Loaded remix) - Moby
🎵 On Ice - Michael Nau
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My latest purchase… a small Pilates ball
– Slowly building my own home gym. This and a pair of ankle weights has really amplified results. 💪🏼
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I've got my eye on… Milk Makeup Sunshine Skin Tint
– It's finally available in Sweden and now with more shades. Hopefully, will be able to do a swatch once I'm in Stockholm and see if it lives up to its hype.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'm looking forwards to... celebrating 11 years with my boyfriend 🥳
– On this date, 11 yrs ago, I met my soul mate at a christening of all things. 😂 I knew back then that it's forever or never. ❤
Two tinted sunscreens that don't get the attention Two tinted sunscreens that don't get the attention they deserve are the Avéne B Protect and Bioderma Anti-Redness. Both of which are tinted and deliver a high SPF of 50+. 💁🏻‍♀️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you care to read a more detailed comparison, head to my blog! 👉🏼 Link in bio!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For the short version 👇🏼
I would repurchase both! But do lean more towards Bioderma AR being the favorite 🌟 It's fragrance-free and water-resistant, unlike B Protect. Has a sheer yellowish tint that blends in better into my light to medium complexion. It's also more hydrating and has soothing ingredients which are great for my normal/dry acne-prone skin. The B Protect has things going for it too, like more coverage and less dewy finish. But in general, for my skin, the Bioderma AR felt like a better fit.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I picked up both and tested them out during winter/spring. So I can't, unfortunately, say how well they wear up during summer. But considering their small size (only 30ml 🙄), I would recommend opting for something that gives you more bang for your bucks as you will probably go through a tube pretty quickly in the summer.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have you tried these two? Tell me your thoughts below!

Don’t forget, it doesn’t matter. How you are o Don’t forget, it doesn’t matter.
How you are or who you are.

You’re allowed to brag and you can stay quiet. 
You’re allowed to complain and you can stay away.
You’re allowed to have everything and show nothing.

Whenever envy is expressed, see it as an reminder of what you’re not giving yourself.

The stars don’t tell the way without your belief in them. 
That’s why it doesn’t matter,

In addition to a practical basics kit to get started with kegel exercises (see earlier post), @sinful.eu also offers organic intimate products. Their Kaerlig-line is produced in Denmark with a high proportion of organic and natural ingredients. Most products are also Nordic Swan Eco-labeled and allergy-tested. 👌🏻
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I've tested out their organic lubricant and O gel, both of which are latex and toy-safe. I was very skeptical about the O gel and have never tried any O enhancing product before. But got a (quite literally 😊️) warm surprise of how well it works! Have you tried anything similar or am I late for the train?

[SWE] #betaltsammarbete
Förutom ett praktiskt baskit för att komma igång med knipövningar (se några inlägg ner), erbjuder Sinful även ekologiska intimprodukter. Deras serie Kaerlig är producerad i Danmark med hög andel ekologiska och naturliga ingredienser. De flesta prordukter är även svenenmärkta och allergitestade. 👌🏻
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Jag har fått testa deras ekologiska glidmedel och x gel, båda som är säkra att använda tillsamamns med latex och leksakerna. Jag var väldigt skeptiskt mot o-gelen och har aldrig testat något liknande tidigare. Men vart (bokstavligen 😊️) varmt överraskad hur bra den fungerar! Har ni testat något liknande eller är jag sen till tåget? 😅

💇🏻‍♀️ On growing your hair long 💇🏻‍♀️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When I first started growing out my hair, five years ago (after my "big chop"), I was like a sponge sucking in all the information on how to grow it out long, thick, healthy, and fast! During these past years, I've learned that it all comes down to so many factors that one can't just run a comb through and say this is how you should do it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In one of my latest blog post, I poke at some of the advice I've come across on IG and YT that I don't follow or believe in considering my _hair type_. Cause there seems to be a trend of products, treatments and the advice given. But something that's not talked about in the #longhaircommunity is the importance of hair type, lifestyle, and genetics!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I found that most girls being glorified for their long hair usually have genetically thick hair, not only that, but also straight hair. Two things my hair is not. And I was trying to follow their formula. 🤦🏻‍♀️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Straight and thick hair has more resistance against breakage. So naturally, they have the upper hand when it comes to the right circumstances for growing hair long and healthy. Emulating someone with a different texture hair may set you up for disappointment and unnecessary struggle.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you've missed it, check the link in my bio and go read my post on the 5 hair myths I no longer subscribe to. 💁🏻‍♀️
I discuss whether you should or should not trim your hair, how often you should wash your hair for hair growth, and should you use silicones or only opt for natural hair care? And more!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Just like we take into account our skin type when buying products and listening to skincare advice, we should do the same with our hair!
